Suvarna (Svarna) ParpatiS.D.S. Monograph No. 080190

Ayurved Rasashastra mentions four types of Rasayan, out of which one is Parpati Rasayan. Parpati means a thin substance like a Papad. Due to the specific process of preparation of Parpati Rasayan, the disintegration of Parpati Kalpa takes place at the level of Grahani. Hence this should be understood as a type of Gamitva towards Grahani. The Sanskar of Gopitta present in the Gomaya on Parpati during its preparation is helpful in enhancing the functions - Agnideepan & Pachan of Parpati Rasayan.

Varsha Rhutu - July - August 2012

Pravala Panchamrut (M.Y.)02

Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati01

Rhutu DescriptionWith the onset of Varsha Rhutu, the sky is full with clouds brought by the western winds. These clouds come alongwith lightening & thunder. The mother earth looks beautiful covered with soft green grass & Vanaspati like Kadamb, Neem, Kutaja, Ketaki etc. Further as the Rhutu progresses, due to heavy rainfall the level of water in the river rises. The force of the river water is such that, even the trees near the river banks get uprooted. The lake water looks beautiful due to the presence of Kumud (white lotus) & Neelkamal. The cold rain water falls on the soil alongwith flow of wind leading to production of vapours from the soil which is already heated in the previous Rhutu i.e. Greeshma Rhutu.Due to heavy rainfall, the soil becomes soft & gets easily dislodged from the earth crest, hence it is advised not to walk bare feet. In Varsha Rhutu, the river water gets easily contaminated. The rain water falling on trees gets mixed with faeces, urine, saliva, Shukra of poisonous insects & becomes toxic. Similarly the flowing winds entoxicated due to Shalapushpadi & Vishoushadhipushpagandhadi Dosha also contaminate the water. Hence it is advised not to consume such water.Due to presence of cold winds alongwith heavy rainfall, the temperature drops & the environment becomes cool leading to vitiation of Tridosha in the human body. The Jatharagni becomes weak & loss of physical strength is also noticed due to Vata Dosha vitiation. As a result of this, disease conditions like Agnimandya, Ajeerna, Atisar, Jwara, Shwasa, Kasa, Pratishyaya, Shleepada & Vatavikar are more commonly seen in Varsha Rhutu.

Kajjali is the main ingredient of all Parpati Kalpa. The Parpati prepared only from Kajjali is Rasaparpati. Various Parpati are prepared using Kajjali as one of the constituents. The nomenclature of these Parpati is done using the name of the main ingredient like Kutaja Parpati, Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati, Panchamrut Parpati etc. Shweta Parpati is exceptional prepared without Kajjali & is called Parpati due to its appearance after the formation.

Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati is one such important medicine prepared by Parpati Vidhi, which is useful in both acute & chronic conditions of various diseases.

‘Deefie> DeefOe‰eveb ..«enCeer celee~’, which means that Grahani is the site of Agni & an important organ of the digestive system. ‘DehekeäJeb OeejÙeefleDeVeb hekeäJeb me=peefle heeÕe&le:~’, is the function of Grahani, which means Dharan of Apakva Anna till appropriate time & propulsion of Pakva Anna for the purpose of further digestion. Due to Vikruti in the Grahani, food is not digested properly & Apakva or indigested food is propelled further. As a result of this Apakva Anna, conditions like lethargy, loss of physical strength, indigestion, feeling of heaviness in body, burning sensation of epigastrium, sour belching, excessive thirst etc. arise. If proper treatment is not taken for Grahani disease, then symptoms like debilitation, weight loss, weakness etc. arise. At times, the ingested food comes alongwith the stools without digestion.

In such a condition of Grahani Vikar, Agnipradeepak & Pachak Aushadhi is required. Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati acts on the Grahani itself & due to its Deepan, Pachan properties is helpful in such a condition. Along with Agnivardhan, Suvarna Parpati also provides strength to the Grahani. Suvarna Parpati is effective in all three i.e. Vataj, Pittaj & Kaphaj types of Grahani. As per the Dosha Prakopa, it can be used alongwith different Anupan. In Pitta Pradhanya alongwith Ghrut & in Kapha Pradhanya with Honey. Suvarna Parpati is extremely effective in Dhatuksheenata & loss of physical strength seen in Rajayakshma. Not only is the Jatharagni enhanced, but the Dhatvagni also functions properly by its usage. Due to this, good quality Aahar Rasa is produced & absorption of

Aahar Rasa in the body increases leading to proper nourishment of the Sapta Dhatus by which physical strength is restored in the body. As a result of proper nourishment of Dhatus, the Vyadhikshamatva too is enhanced.

Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati is also beneficial in Atisar & Pravahika. Suvarna Parpati proves effective in Atisar

with symptoms like excessive bouts of loose motions or watery diarrhoea, weakness, Dhatuksheenata, Krushata etc. In such a condition, Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati enhances proper digestion of food & absorption of Aahar Rasa, thus relieving from Dhatukshaya & enhancing physical strength. Suvarna Parpati is also effective in Rajayakshmajanya Atisar due to its Jantughna Karya. Here, the word Jantughna should not be considered as Antibiotic, instead

should be understood as a property by which Sookshma Jeevanu cannot stay alive.

Many a times, symptoms of Sarakta Atisar or Pravahika are seen due to Antraja Vrana. Suvarna Parpati is effective even in Antraja Sannipata. The spikes of Fever reduce gradually when Suvarna Parpati is given alongwith Jwaraghna Dravya like Musta & Guduchi Satva. Due to its usage in such a condition, Antraja Vrana are not formed.

Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik)S.D.S. Monograph No. 0500074

The Kalpa prepared from the five ingredients - Pravala, Mouktik, Shankha, Shouktik, Kapardika with its Prabhav similar to that of Amrut, is Pravala Panchamrut.

This Kalpa has its efficacy over Amashaya, complete Antra, Yakrut – Pleeha & Vrukka – Basti, i.e. Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is extremely beneficial in disorders of Annavaha Srotas, Raktavaha Srotas & Mootravaha Srotas.

Drava Guna, is a natural Guna of Pitta Dosha. When this Drava Guna increases, Pitta cannot digest the food properly & Vidaha of food occurs causing symptoms like recurrent abdominal distension, heaviness of stomach after food intake, abdominal pain etc. In such a condition, Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) if used alongwith Amla (Sour) Rasa improves digestion & causes Vatanuloman, thus relieving from abdominal pain & other symptoms.

If Agnimandya & Ama Nirmiti are the causative factors of Ajeerna Vyadhi, then Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is the preferred medicine. Specifically if Ajeerna is the consequence of Ama, Kapha Vruddhi or Sama Pitta, then this Kalpa is extremely effective. In such a condition, Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) should be given alongwith Nimbu Swarasa or buttermilk.

Amlapitta is a very important Vyadhi of the Annavaha Srotas, which has two Avasthas i.e. Samavastha &

Niramavastha. Samavastha is identified by symptoms like Amlasyata, Agnimandya, Aruchi, Hrullas, Chhardi, Shirahshool, Atisar etc. & Niramavastha comprises of symptoms like Katu & Tikta Asyata, Vidaha, Agnivruddhi etc.

Pravala Panchamrut is not only useful in Shoshan of Dravatva of Pitta, but also helps in Agnivardhan. By

reducing increased Amlata of Pitta, it helps in improving digestion process. The ingredients in Pravala Panchamrut help in Pachan & Shaman of Vikrut Pitta. Due to Bhavana of Arka Ksheer, this Kalpa not only becomes 'Kaphamarutaghna', but it is also effective in Samapitta Pachan.

Yegòesâ peerÙe&efle Ùeled Metueb leosJe heefjCeecepeced~, i.e. the Shool or Pain experienced

during Anna Parinaman or digestion is called as Parinamshool. By using this Kalpa in Kaphaj Shool, the Pachan of Vikrut Kapha is facilitated, whereas in Parinamshool it helps in digestion of increased Teekshnatva & Ushnatva of Pitta & thus the pain is reduced quickly.

Due to increased Ushnatva & Teekshnatva of Pitta, Daha or burning sensation is experienced first in the inner linings of stomach & intestines. In such a condition, if Katu Rasatmak & Kshobhajanak or spicy food is consumed, then Daha & Shool aggravate. If this condition persists for a longer duration, then chances of ulceration in stomach & intestine increase. In such a condition, if Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is used alongwith Suvarnamakshik Bhasma, Guduchi Satva or Sheetasudha, relief from Daha, Shool & ulceration in stomach & intestines is achieved.

Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is effective in Pittatisar & Pittaj Grahani in reducing Drava, Ushna & Teekshna properties of Pitta. With ingredients of Sudha Varga, this Kalpa is useful in reducing the Amlata & Teekshnata of Amashaya & Grahani. This Kalpa is extremely beneficial for Deepan Pachan & Vatanuloman purpose in Atisar & Grahani.

Picchil Malapravrutti or sticky stools after excessive straining is the main symptom of Pravahika. If Pravahika persists for a long duration, then indigestion, abdominal distension, tastelessness occur alongwith this symptom. Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) if used in Pravahika, helps not only in Pachan of Vikrut Kapha or Ama, but also helps in Agnideepan which facilitates proper evacuation of bowels & Nirama Malapravrutti. Pravahika can be treated well, if Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is used alongwith Drakshasava or Kutajarishta.

Aushadhi Vivaran Pustika I July 2012 I Page No. 4

According to Ayurved Shastra, the commencement of formation of Mootra or urine takes place at Antra. Excessive formation of Kleda from Aahar Rasa results into increased levels of Kleda in the urine. In such a condition, Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) helps in Pachan & Shoshan of excessive Kleda in the Antra, which inturn helps to reduce the quantity of Kleda in urine. Due to presence of Shamak Dravya like Pravala & Mouktik, relief from symptoms like Mootradaha & Mootrakrucchra is also attained.

Alongwith the digestive system, Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is also effective in diseases of Asthi Dhatu, due to the presence of contents of Sudha Varga. It is effective in Asthidhatvagnivardhan & Asthi Dhatu Poshan. The use of Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is beneficial in conditions arised due to Asthi Dhatu Kshaya in children. Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) is very effective in symptoms like Hair loss, pain in lower back & legs arised during Sootikavastha. Due to presence of Snuhi Ksheer, this Kalpa relieves from Agnimandya & enhances faster digestion of Ama, due to which it is extremely effective in Samavastha of various diseases.

Krumikuthar Rasa

S.D.S. Monograph No. 0800294

‘kegâÙee&led ke=âefceefJeveeMeb Ûe meJe&Meb mehleefYeefo&vew:~‘, the Rasakalpa which is effective in eradicating all types of Krumi or worms is Krumikuthar Rasa. This Kalpa is extremely beneficial in nullifying all the symptoms arised due to Krumi alongwith their eradication.

Important ingredients & properties - Karpoor – Krumighna, Kaphaghna, SugandhiVidanga – Krumighna (Especially effective in Prakrutivighat Karya)Shuddha Hingul – Yogavahi, Krumighna, AmapachakPalash Beej – Krumighna, Mootravaha SrotogamitvaKutaja – Antraja Krumi Nashak, Kandughna, Amapachak

Almost all the ingredients of this Kalpa are Krumighna.

Two types of line of treatment are seen in the treatment of Krumi, i.e. Prakrutivighat & Krumi Patan. Prakrutivighat Karya helps in eradicating the environment or substances required for the growth of Krumi, by which the habit of production of new Krumi is stopped. Krumikuthar Rasa is very useful in such Prakrutivighat Karya.

Those children or adults who have a habit of excessive intake of sweet foodstuff like jaggery, sugar, milk, curd or meat, have a tendancy of formation of worms. Due to intake of sweet foodstuff, Kaphaj Krumi are formed in the Amashaya. Due to Kaphaj Krumi, symptoms of excessive salivation, recurrent cold, cough, fever, headache, nausea, vomitting, abdominal pain, white discolouration on face etc. are seen. In such a condition, Krumikuthar Rasa is effective when used alongwith Suvarna Vasant Malati, A-Flu-O-Cil Forte or Mahasudarshan Kadha.

Purishaj Krumi are formed due to excessive intake of Malavardhak substances like Urad, sprouts, various types of leafy vegetables, peas, beans etc. The formation of Purishaj Krumi occurs in Pakvashaya & Grahani due to which symptoms like constipation or loose stools, severe pricking pain & itching at anal region, Adhman, Karshya etc. arise. By using Krumikuthar Rasa alongwith Kumari Asava No. 1 or Drakshasava, eradication of Krumi through stools,

i.e. Krumi Patan or Virechan is facilitated.

Raktaj Krumi are formed due to causes like eating foodstuff during Ajeerna or indigestion, Virudhannasevan, excessive intake of leafy vegetables etc. Symptoms like loss or Patan of Kesha, Shmashru, Roma, discolouration over skin or skin diseases arise due to Raktaj Krumi.

Aushadhi Vivaran Pustika I July 2012 I Page No. 5

Krumikuthar Rasa plays a prime role in the treatment of skin diseases. Kushtha or skin diseases are of two types – Sravi & Shushka. In both these types, Krumikuthar Rasa is useful. In skin diseases like Vicharchika & Kitibha Kushtha, symptoms like itching over skin, discharge or dryness of skin, discolouration, burning sensation, formation of boils are seen. In Sravi Twacha Vikar, Krumikuthar

Rasa is extremely effective when used alongwith Amrutarishta & Amrutadi Guggul & in Shushka Twacha Vikar, Krumikuthar Rasa proves beneficial when used alongwith Mahamanjishthadi Kadha & Panchatikta Ghrut Guggul.

Shwitra Vyadhi or leucorrhoea is diagnosed due to white discolouration of skin. In this disease too, the cause of Krumi should

be ruled out. Hence in Shwitra Vyadhi, Krumikuthar Rasa should be given alongwith Swayambhuva Guggul & Mahamanjishthadi Kadha.

Pimples, Arunshika, Dadru etc. Kshudra Kushtha can be very well treated with a combination of Krumikuthar Rasa, Amrutadi Guggul & Mahamanjishthadi Kadha or Khadirarishta.

Purishaj Krumi is one of the causes of Sheetapitta & Udarda. In these diseases, symptoms like red coloured patches, severe itching & burning sensation arise, in which Krumikuthar Rasa can be given alongwith Arogyavardhani, Gandhak Rasayan & Mahamanjishthadi Kadha.

Krumikuthar Rasa is not merely a Krumipatan Kalpa, but is a Krumivighatakar Kalpa, hence it should not be given only for 5 to 6 days as like anthelmentic drugs. It should be continued considering the Vikrut Dosha Bala along with other medicines unless skin disease is completely cured. Repeated Krumivighatakar treatment is beneficial and does not cause any harm.

Agnimandya is the main cause of Karshya, but the presence of Krumi should not be overlooked. In such a condition, Krumikuthar Rasa can be given in

combination with Virechak Kalpa like Abhayarishta & Avipattikar Choorna. As a result of this combination, Krumi are eradicated through stools & due to Agnideepan, appetite increases too.

Krumikuthar Rasa has its efficacy not only in Twacha Vikar, but also in Pandu Vyadhi. It would be recommended to use Krumikuthar Rasa in Pandu Vyadhi before the use of Loha Kalpa, by which the condition of Pandu is improved quickly.

Kravyad Rasa

'Kravyad' word is used synonymously with Crow. The way crow can quickly and easily digest any heavy food, Kravyad Rasa quickly digests any Guru as well as Snigdha diet by enhancing Jatharagni.

DelÙebleieg®YeespÙeeefve ieg®ceebmeevÙeveskeâMe:~

Ye#eÙeslkebâ"eheÙeËleb lelees osÙees jmeesòece:~~According to the above mentioned Shloka,Kravyad Rasa has been described in Ajeerna Chikitsa Adhyaya of Yogaratnakar. This Kalpa was originally prepared for the King of Srilanka who had a habit of consuming lot of meat, heavy food and used to take number of meals each day.

Important ingredients and properties - Kajjali - Yogavahi, RasayanTamra Bhasma - Yakrut Gamitva, Pittasravi, Vishaghna, RaktavardhakLoha Bhasma - Raktavardhak, Balya, RasayanPanchakol - Agnideepan, AmapachakMarich - Pramathi, Amapachak, Katu, Ushna, TeekshnaAmlavetas, Jambeeri Nimbu, Chanakamla - Amla, Ushna, Agnideepan, Amapachak, Ruchikar

When Jatharagni in Amashaya is in its normal state, food is digested properly and is converted into normal Aahar Rasa and good quality Dhatus. But when Jatharagni is Manda, food is not digested properly resulting in formation of 'Ama'. In this condition, if the diet consisting of Guru, Snigdha, Madhur Rasa or meat is consumed then Jatharagni gets even more Manda giving rise to excessive Ama formation.

Due to ingredients like Tamra Bhasma, Loha Bhasma, Panchakol, Marich, Amlavetas, Jambeeri Nimbu

Aushadhi Vivaran Pustika I July 2012 I Page No. 6

and Chanakamla, Kravyad Rasa is an excellent Agnideepak, Amapachak and Shoolaghna Kalpa. This Kalpa is especially useful in Ajeerna and Ama formation due to excessive consumption of meat and food with Guru - Snigdha properties.

If Doshasthiti is taken into consideration, this Kalpa is beneficial in condition of Ama formation as well as Jatharagnimandya with Kaphavatatmak symptoms. But if this Kalpa is used in conditions with Pittapradhan symptoms, then instead of relief there is possibility of symptoms getting aggravated. Therefore if one wants to use Kravyad Rasa in Pittapradhan conditions, it should always be used in proper Kaal and with appropriate Anupan.

DeefJehekeäJees Ó efiveceevÅesve Ùees jme: me efveieÅeles~

jesieeCeeb ØeLecees nsleg: meJex<eeceecemeb%eÙee~~Ajeerna Vyadhi has been described in Yogaratnakar in such a way. Due to Jatharagnimandya food is not digested properly resulting in formation of Vikrut Rasa or Ama. This Ama is the main causative factor for all types of diseases.

Kravyad Rasa is especially effective in all the diseases caused by Agnimandya, Ajeerna, Amanirmiti. Kravyad Rasa is useful mainly in two types of Ajeerna namely Amajeerna and Rasasheshajeerna with symptoms like Udargaurav, Hrullas, Angasad, Udarshool, Atisar or Malavibandha etc.

Jatharagnimandya being the root cause of Grahani as well as Arsha, treatment with Deepan, Pachan Aushadhis is beneficial. In this condition when Kravyad Rasa is used with Drakshasava, it stimulates Agni and improves digestion as well.

Like other diseases, Udar Vyadhi is a result of Agnimandya and Amanirmiti. Therefore alongwith Virechan, Agnideepan and Amapachan are important treatments in this condition. Kravyad Rasa is very effective in Vatakaphapradhan Udar due to its Agnideepan and Amapachan action.

Symptoms like Sandhishotha / Aatop, Sandhigraha,

Sandhishool, Ushna Sparsha at Sandhi are seen in Samavastha of Amavata or Sandhigata Vata. The root cause of Amavata is Ama, is formed due to Jatharagnimandya in Aamashaya which acts like Visha. Intake of Kravyad Rasa alleviates Ama formation and improves Jatharagni. In Samavastha of Amavata or Sandhigata Vata, use of Kravyad Rasa with Sinhanad Guggul, Yogaraj Guggul or Maharasnadi Kadha is beneficial for Agnivardhan.

'œeesleebmÙevÙew§e oe®Cew:~' i.e. Dushti of Pranavaha Srotas caused by Dushti in other Srotas is considered as the main factor among all the factors responsible for Pranavaha Srotas Dushti. In Shwasa Vyadhi, the process of digestion is affected mainly due to formation of 'Ama' in Annavaha Srotas resulting in Srotorodha. Due to this, Gati of Apana Vayu becomes Pratilom giving rise to Shwasa Vyadhi. In this condition, when Kravyad Rasa is used with Drakshasava, it not only facilitates digestion of Ama but also helps in reducing Shwasa Vega by providing Anulom Gati to Apana Vayu.

Similarly, when Kaphavatatmak and Amajanya symptoms are present in diseases like Prameha, Pandu, Kushtha, Vatavikar etc., Kravyad Rasa proves to be an excellent Agnideepak, Amapachak as well as Shoolaghna Kalpa.

Shankhavati

S.D.S. Monograph No. 0800184

This Kalpa has been named as Shankhavati due to presence of 'Shankha Bhasma' as main ingredient. Shankhavati consisting of Kajjali, Shuddha Vatsanabh alongwith Panchalavan, Trikatu and Hing is an excellent Deepan, Pachan, Shoolaghna as well as Vatanulomak Rasakalpa.

Important ingredients and properties - Shankha Bhasma - Deepan, Pachan, Shoolaghna, VataghnaChincha Kshara - Ushna, Teekshna, Deepan, Pachan, BhedanPanchalavan - Deepan, Pachan, VatanulomakTrikatu - Ushna, Teekshna, Deepan, PachanHing - Vataghna, Kaphaghna, Shoolaghna, Kaphavataghna, Anah and Adhman Nashak

Kajjali - Yogavahi, RasayanShuddha Vatsanabh - Ampachak, Swedajanan, Shoolaghna as well as Vatanulomak, YogavahiNimbu Swaras - Deepan, Pachan, Vatanuloman

As all the ingredients present in Shankhavati have Deepan, Pachan properties, hence this Kalpa is especially effective on Amashaya, Grahani and Pakvashaya related disorders.

Shankhavati acts very effectively on Udarshool related to Amashaya, Grahani and Pakvashaya. Shankhavati helps in Vatanuloman and gives relief in Shool. When Vatavardhak food is consumed in excess, it gives rise to Udarshool alongwith Anah, Adhman etc. There is feeling of discomfort due to bloating of abdomen. In this condition, difficulty in breathing can be experienced sometimes due to increased gaseous distension shifting diaphragm in upward direction. Pratilom Gati of Apana Vayu is the cause behind these symptoms. In Anah, Adhman, Shwasakashtata use of Shankhavati with Drakshasava, Abhayarishta or lukewarm water causes quick Vatanuloman and gives relief.

Many patients, suffering from chronic constipation get relief with intake of Virechak Kalpa. If they stop taking the Virechak Yoga, symptoms reappear. Sometimes Virechak Kalpa are also not effective. In this condition, 'Shankhavati' with Agnivardhan as well as Vatanuloman properties is more effective. The use of Abhayarishta, Myrolax Lite with Shankhavati proves beneficial.

In Atisar as well as Pravahika, Udarshool is seen alongwith main symptoms like loose & sticky stools respectively. Vitiated Vata is main reason for this. Shankhavati with its Deepan, Pachan and Vatanulomak properties

helps in relieving the pain by normalizing the function of Apana Vayu and enhances Agni as well.

‘cegng:yeæbcegng:õJeb‘ type of stool is the main sign of Grahani Vikar. Agnimandya as well as formation of Ama are two main causative factors of Grahani. Shankhavati being excellent Amapachak is very effective in Amavastha of

Grahani.

Hikka or Hiccup is mostly seen due to spasm of muscles close to Amashaya. Hikka is also seen due to Pratilom Gati of Prana Vayu. In this condition use of Shankhavati relieves Udarshool as well as muscle spasm by causing Vatanuloman and normalizing Gati of Prana Vayu. The combined use of Shankhavati & Drakshasava is useful Hikka Vikar. Shankhavati should be used with precaution in Pitta Pradhan Hikka.

As per Shloka 've efn JeeleeÂles Ùeesefve...~' Vata Vikruti is the most important factor in Yoni Roga. Apan Vayu is of prime importance in the disorders of Yoni & Garbhashay. Lot of women complain of Dysmennorhoea. Sometimes the pain is so acute that during menses symptoms such as lethargy, weakness, nausea etc. are also seen. Shankhavati being excellent Shoolaghna as well as Vatanulomak Kalpa is beneficial in Dysmennorhoea. It is more effective when used with Dashamoolarishta.

Shankhavati should be used with precaution in pregnant women due to Anulomak action of Shankhavati and presence of ingredients like Hing, Panchalavan, Chincha Kshara alongwith Vatsanabh. In pregnant women, Shankhavati should be used in proper dose, with appropriate Anupan and at proper time as per the advise of Ayurvedic physician or Vaidya.

Similarly Shankhavati should be used in all those diseases where Vatanuloman, Shoolaprashaman, Pachan as well as Ushnateekshnadi Agnideepan is expected.

Kutajarishta

S.D.S. Monograph No. 100008

Kutajarishta prepared from Kutaja, which is an excellent Pachak as well as Stambhak Dravya, is effective in intestinal diseases such as Atisar, Pravahika, Grahani etc.

According to ’iegosve yengõJemejCeb Deeflemeejced’–cee.efve. Atisar is a disease in which there is excessive passage of liquid stools. Atisar is an acute disease, many a times. Apart from Agnimandya, Ama formation and Krumi (worms) are also considered as causative factors for Atisar Vyadhi. Kutaja present in Kutajarishta is an excellent Pachak, Stambhak & Krumighna Dravya, hence is very beneficial in Atisar. It not only decreases frequency of loose motions but also improves digestion by treating Agnimandya along with relieving symptoms like Udarshool, Jwara etc. Similarly Kutajarishta can also effectively treat Atisar associated with Jwara, where Atisar is developed as one of the symptoms. In Jwaratisar, Kutajarishta proves to be more effective when used with Bruhat Kastoori Bhairav.

’ØeJeenceeCemÙe ØeJeeefnkeâe~’ – meg.G.40, this disease is called as Pravahika because Pravahan or straining while passing stools is its main sign. Most of the times in Pravahika, stool is accompanied by Shleshma or mucus. As the disease becomes chronic there is ‘keâheâcee$e efve:mejCeb‘ i.e. only Shleshma or mucus comes out after straining. If this condition remains untreated for long time, there is passage of blood mixed with stool on straining. Alongwith

this, there are symptoms like Udarshool, Adhman, ’ke=âlesÓefhe Deke=âle meb%elee’ i.e. even with excessive straining there is very less passage of stools and hence symptoms like unsatisfactory motions, weakness and drowsiness arise. In this condition, Kutajarishta helps in absorption of intestinal secretion and Kleda, removes intestinal laxity, helps in Amapachan and Agnivardhan. Kutajarishta also helps in Stambhan of per rectal bleeding.

’cegngye&æb cegngõ&Jeced’ is the main symptom of Grahani Vyadhi. Food is not digested properly due to Agnimandya. In addition to this functions of Grahani such as DeVeb ie=åCeeefle heÛeefle efJeJesÛeÙeefle..~ are adversely affected. This results in Sama Malapravrutti. Moreover, consistancy of stool is sometimes solid or liquid. Older the Grahani disease, more is the intestinal weakness. In such condition, depending upon the symptoms use of Kutajarishta with Parpati Kalpa like Suvarna Parpati, Panchamrut Parpati or Rasa Parpati proves to be effective. Especially in the treatment of Jeernavastha of Grahani, Suvarna (Svarna) Parpati proves to be more beneficial considering Apunarbhava Chikitsa. Function of Grahani can be re-established & passage of stool becomes appropriate. ’kegâ<Ceeefle Jeheg: leled kegâ…ced’ – cee.efve., Kushtha is the disease in which there is discolouration of skin (Twak Vaivarnya) and formation of Kotha in other Shareer Dhatus. Kutajarishta is used especially in Kushtha Vikar having Kaphapittatmak Lakshan. With its Raktashodhak, Sravshoshak, Krumighna, Kandughna, Kledaghna properties, Kutajarishta is beneficial in Kaphapittatmak Kushtha. In Sravi Kushtha Kutajarishta proves to be effective when used with Amrutadi Guggul.

Due to Agnimandya, food is neither digested properly nor in appropriate time resulting in symptoms like Adhman alongwith Grathit Purisha, Malavibandha etc. Due to constipation, patient has to strain frequently which causes laxity in rectal blood vessels alongwith inflammation and development of Mansankur. Due to presence of Mrudu Rechak and Deepan Pachan ingredients like Draksha alongwith Haritaki which is Shreshtha Anulomak Dravya, this Kalpa helps in smooth as well as easy passage of stools. Appropriate Vatanuloman improves Agni results in proper digestion. As a result there is reduction in inflammation of ano-rectal sphincters.

This Arishta which is prepared from Draksha, is considered as the best among fruits (õe#eeheâueesòecee Je=<Ùee

..~ Jee.met.6/113) and Haritaki which is considered as foremost among Pathyakar Aushadhis (nefjlekeâer heLÙeeveeb ßes…:~ Ûe.met.25/40) can be consumed for long duration.

Many patients suffering from chronic constipation consume strong purgative formulations without any medical advise. This causes excessive Rukshata in intestine alongwith decreased capacity of evacuation. As this Arishta contains Rasayana and Anulomak Dravya like Abhaya, intestinal laxity decreases as a result of which evacuation strength increases.Elimination of Mala, Mootra etc. depends mainly on efficacy of

Apana Vayu. Due to Apana Vayu Vikruti, Mala, Mootra cannot be evacuated properly. In such a condition, improper urination is observed without any anatomical deformity. Use of Anulomak Aushadhi like Abhayarishta helps in correcting Apana Vayu Dushti, which further helps in appropriate elimination of urine.

Evacuation of hard stool is the main cause for Parikartika Vyadhi. Incomplete evacuation of bowels and factors causing extreme Rukshata and Vataprakopa make the stool hard which may result in Parikartika Vyadhi (Fissure).Abhayarishta alongwith Vatanuloman, relieves constipation and makes the stool soft which helps in easy wound healing. Abhayarishta is also beneficial in Bhagandar for reducing Sthanik Kleda and Pus formation.

Agnitundi Vati is beneficial in Ajeerna Vyadhi, especially in Agnimandya and Ajeerna caused by Kaphavruddhi in Amashaya. 'Agnitundi Vati' proves to be very effective in symptoms of Ajeerna Vikar like; heaviness in abdomen, uneasiness, lethargy, hatred towards food especially for sweet foods, sweet belching etc. It enhances flow of Pachak Pitta in Koshtha. Food is digested properly. It helps in digestion of Kapha and Kleda in Amashaya which reduces heaviness of abdomen.

Shool which arises during Parinaman of food is known as Parinamshool. Agnitundi Vati is beneficial when Kaphapradhan or Kaphavatapradhan symptoms are seen in Parinamshool. Presence of Shuddha Kuchala in Agnitundi Vati helps in Shoolaprashaman and Yavakshara and Sajjikshara relieve Vibandha.

DeeceJeeleb efJeMes<esCe nefvle.....~ Agnitundi Vati is an excellent Amapachak, Agnideepak and Shoolaghna Kalpa hence proves effective when used with 'Sinhanad Guggul' in Samavastha of Amavata. It reduces Ama formation alongwith Shool or Pain. This action is due to presence of excellent Shoolaghna Dravya like Kuchala. Therefore many Vaidyas use Agnitundi Vati for Amavata Chikitsa.

Atisar is also a condition caused by Agnimandya where passage of loose stools is the main sign. In Visuchika Vyadhi, Prakupit Vata produces symptoms such as Suchivat Vedana i.e pricking pain all over the body, Atisar and Chhardi. Krumi can also give rise to Visuchika and Atisar. Agnitundi Vati acts as Agnivardhak and eradicates Krumi due to its Krumighna Karya. This reduces frequency of loose stool and in addition to this, pricking pain is also taken care by Shoolaghna action.

Yakrut and Pleeha are Moolsthan of Raktavaha Srotas. Vikruti in it causes Yakrut Pleeha Vruddhi and Udar Vikar. Especially in Kaphapradhan or Kaphavatapradhan condition, symptoms like Aruchi, Madhurasyata, heaviness of abdomen, whitish discolouration of skin, eyes, nails & stools, Udarshool etc. are present. In this condition Agnitundi Vati is very beneficial Kalpa. Use of Agnitundi Vati with Kumari Asava No. 1 proves to be more effective.Agnitundi Vati is more Ushna, Teekshna, Agnideepak, Amapachak and Shoolaghna compared to Shankhavati. With ingredients like Shuddha Kuchala and Vidang, Agnitundi Vati also acts as Krumighna.

If we compare Agnitundi Vati and Kravyad Rasa, Agnitundi Vati is mild Amapachak and Agnideepak Kalpa as compared to Kravyad Rasa.

DeMe&meeb veeMeve: ßes… GoeJelee&œeiegucevegled~Agnimandya and Ama formation are considered as main factors adversely affecting Annavaha Srotas. Among the diseases caused by Agnimandya, 'Grahani' is considered as very difficult to treat. Chronic nature of Grahani is the reason behind this. Grahani has been mentioned as Sthana of Pachak Pitta and Saman Vayu. Dushti of Grahani reflects Vikruti of Pachak Pitta as well as Saman Vayu. ’DeVeb ie=åCeeefle heÛeefle efJeJesÛeÙeefle cegÃeefle Ûe...’ is the normal function

of Grahani which gets adversely affected due to Dushti in Grahani. This causes improper digestion of food and formation of Aahar Rasa as well. This causes inadequate nutrition of Dhatus, which leads to condition of Dhatukshaya. Use of Panchamrut Parpati or Rasa Parpati with Drakshasava is beneficial in the treatment of Grahani Vyadhi.

Agnimandya and Vikruti in digestion are the causative factors of Karshya Vyadhi. In this condition, lack of Poshan results in Kshaya of Rasadi Dhatus which gives rise to Karshya. In such a condition, Dravyas with Agnivardhan and Santarpan properties should be used. With Santarpan and Vrushya ingredient like Draksha and prepared by Asava Kalpana, Drakshasava provides Santarpan at the level of Dhatu, which helps in reducing Karshya by improving Dhatupariposhan Krama.

Draksha being the Dravya which is Mrudu Virechak especially with Pittavirechan and Pittaprashaman properties, proves to be effective in Pittapradhan Vyadhis like Jwara, Pandu and Kamala. In these diseases Drakshasava can be used as Anupan with other Aushadhi Dravyas. In Kamala Vyadhi, use of Drakshasava with Arogyavardhani and is Pandu Vyadhi use of Drakshasava with Abhraloha is beneficial.

Drakshasava is also useful in Pittapradhan Arsha as well as Raktarsha. Its use helps in arresting the bleeding along with reducing Daha, Shotha due to Arsha.

Drakshasava proves to be effective in symptoms due to vitiated Pitta especially symptoms caused by Sama Pitta including Trushna, Daha, Bhrama, Shirahshool, Udarshool. When Sootashekhar Rasa is given with Drakshasava it gives more benefits.

’œeesleebmÙevÙew:§e oe®Cew:’ is mentioned in the causative factors for Pranavaha Srotas Dushti. Ama formed in Annavaha Srotas causes Strotorodh, Apana Vayu attains upward movement and interferes with normal functioning of Prana

Vayu as well as Udana Vayu. This gives rise to Shwasa and Kasa. In this condition, use of Drakshasava is beneficial for Amapachan as well as Vatanuloman.

In Rajayakshma Vyadhi, especially in Anuloma type of Rajayakshma developed from Jatharagnimandya as well as Dhatvagnimandya, Kshaya of successive Dhatus is seen. Patient becomes very weak, lethargic and Ojaheen. In this condition, consumption of Drakshasava helps to increase appetite, imporove digestion and provide appropriate Poshan to Dhatus. This leads to increase in physical strength. In Rajayakshma, the use of Suvarna Vasant Malati and Sitopaladi Choorna alongwith Drakshasava is very beneficial.

Draksha being an excellent Rasayan as well as Vrushya Dravya, Drakshasava prepared from it acts as a Balya Kalpa. Drakshasava is specifically useful in different Dhatukshayajanya Vikar as well as in Dhatuksheenata caused by long term illness.

Drakshasava is also effective in Udavarta and Gulma Vikar. Drakshasava is also used for maintaining proper digestion.

Kanakasava

In Kanakasava, word Kanak should be taken as 'Dhattur' and not as Gold. Kanakasava is an excellent Shothaghna and Shoolaghna Kalpa and acts effectively on Pranavaha and Annavaha Srotas.

Kanakasava prepared from Visha Dravya, Dhattur, should be given to patient in an appropriate dose since signs of overdosage of Dhattur are seen, when Kanakasava is given in excessive quantum. In Medicinal formulations, Visha Dravya should always be used after Shodhan or purification. Shodhan of Dhattur seeds is carried out in Gomootra by Dolayantra method. Dhattur purified by this

'ÕeemelJeb JesieJeotOJe&JeelelJeb' - ceOegkeâes<ešerkeâe, the disease in which Vayu attains Urdhvagati is called as Shwasa Vyadhi. In Shwasa Vyadhi, Shwasakashtata or Shwasavarodha is the main symptom. Shwasan Gati increases due to obstruction in Pranavaha Srotas. Pranavaha Srotas Dushti caused by Vata Vruddhi and Annavaha Srotas Dushti caused by Kapha Vruddhi and Ama formation are two causative factors in Samprapti of Shwasa Vyadhi. From the treatment point of view, Vatadhikyajanya and Kaphadhikyajanya or Margavarodhajanya are the two main types.

In Vatadushtijanya Shwasa, there is spasm of Shwasavahini and in Margavarodhajanya Shwasa Vikrut Kapha or Kleda in Shwasavahini interferes with normal functioning of Prana-Udana Vayu. Kanakasava is very effective in both the conditions.

Shuddha Dhattur present in Kanakasava helps in bronchodilation by relieving bronchial spasm which helps in normalizing the Gati of Prana and Udana Vayu. Use of Kanakasava reduces inflammation & irritation of Bronchi. Kanakasava also alleviates Kapha and Kleda which are causative factors for Margavarodha

and also helps in Srava Shoshan. In Vayuvruddhijanya Shwasa, Kanakasava proves effective when used with 'Shwaskas Chintamani Rasa' and when used with 'Mahalaxmivilas Rasa' it is effective in Margavarodhajanya Shwasa. This helps to normalize the respiratory rate.

’keâmeveeled keâeme GÛÙeles’ – Ûe.efÛe.18 The disease in which Vayu comes out from throat with sound similar to broken bronze vessel is called

as Kasa. Kanakasava helps in elimination of Vikrut or Styan Kapha, relieving throat irritation, decreasing Kaphasrava, reducing bronchial irritation etc. In Kasa Vyadhi, use of Kanakasava with Kaphakuthar Rasa proves to be beneficial.

Kanakasava is very effective Kalpa in Rajayakshmajanya Shwasa - Kasa and for reducing pain in thorax and abdomen. In Rajayakshmajanya Shwasa-Kasa, Kanakasava gives excellent results when given with Suvarna Vasant Malati and Sitopaladi Choorna.

Shuddha Dhattur present is Kanakasava is an excellent Vedanashamak Dravya. This property of Shuddha Dhattur proves beneficial in abdominal and intestinal pain. Kanakasava is very effective Kalpa especially for Parinamshool and Annadravakhyashool. In this condition, Shankhavati can also be used with Kanakasava.

In case of pain due to Ashmari or calculi, Kanakasava is used for relieving pain. Acute pain is experienced during elimination of Mootrashmari and Mootrasharkara from urethra. Similarly when Pittashmari enters Pittanalika it give rise to acute abdominal pain. Use of Kanakasava gives relief from pain due to Mootrashmari and Pittashmari.

Hikka or Hiccups can be seen in the form of symptom as well as separate disease. According to following Shloka of Sharandhar ’veeefYemLe: ØeeCeheJeve:’ it is clear that the process of respiration is initiated from Nabhipatal. Nabhipatal Vikruti, especially its spasm gives rise to Hikka or Hiccups. In this condition, use of Kanakasava helps in relieving spasm of diaphragm and maintaining normal Gati of Prana-Udana Vayu.

Pitta Dosha has its dominance during the Pachyaman Avastha of digestion of food. In Parinamshool, Shool or pain is experienced at Kukshi Pradesh, Udara Pradesh, Parshwa, Nabhi, Basti, Stanantar & Kati Pradesh. This Shool arises after some duration of food intake & resolves itself after the food is digested. At times, after presence of Shool, vomiting occurs & the Shool resolves immediately after the vomiting. This same symptom is present in Amlapitta Vyadhi as well, but pain arised only during the digestion of food & relief from pain immediately after the food is digested, is the typical sign of Parinamshool Vyadhi. Pain arises in Amlapitta Vyadhi at any time of the day & has no direct relation with the digestion of food. Vitiation of Pitta & Vata Dosha is seen in Parinamshool. Kapardika (Varatika) Bhasma is extremely beneficial in such a condition. If used alongwith butter or milk cream, Kapardika (Varatika) Bhasma proves to be effective in Parinamshool. Similarly products which contain Kapardika Bhasma like Pravala Panchamrut (With Mouktik) & Kamadugha (Mouktikyukta) are also effective in Parinamshool.

If Ama Nirmiti is the cause of Atisar Vyadhi, then for the purpose of Ama Pachan in such an Amatisar, the use of Kapardika (Varatika) Bhasma is very effective. Due to its Gamitva towards Grahani & Pakvashaya & presence of Deepan, Pachan, Grahi Gunadharma, Kapardika (Varatika) Bhasma is extremely effective in Samavastha of Atisar.

Relief from Atisar Vyadhi is achieved if Shankha Bhasma is given alongwith Anupan like Takra or buttermilk.

In comparison with Atisar, Visuchika Vyadhi has more symptoms & the severity of the symptoms is also more. Due to Vikruti formed in Yakrut & Pleeha alongwith the Vikruti in the Antra, symptoms like Dravamalapravrutti, Chhardi, Udarashool, Dourbalya, Bhrama etc. arise. In such conditions, Shankha Bhasma or Kalpa like Kamadugha (Mouktikyukta), Pravala Panchamrut (with Mouktik) which contain Shankha Bhasma are effective.

Aushadhi Vivaran Pustika I July 2012 I Page No. 15

Kalpa has its efficacy in eradicating diseases like Amavata, Kushtha, Udara etc. like a lion which captures its prey with all might.

Important ingredients and properties - Triphala – Tridoshashamak especially Kaphapittaghna, Saragunayukta, Deepan, KushthaharShuddha Gandhak – Deepan, Pachan, Kleda & Ama Shoshak, Kushthanashak, KrumiharEranda – Amapachak, Virechak, VataharAmruta Vishesh Shodhit Guggul – Deepan, Vatahar, Vibandhanashak, Vedanashamak, Kushthahar, Dahahar

Ama Utpatti & Vataprakopa are the two main Samprapti Ghatak of 'Amavata' Vyadhi. Due to the aggravated Vata Dosha, the Ama gets mobilized & is accumulated in the Shleshmasthana i.e. big joints.

’JeeleefheòekeâhewâYet&Jees otef<ele:~‘ in Amavata the Ama gets vitiated by all the three Dosha. This is the reason, the symptoms of Amavata like Sanchari Sandhishool, Ushna Sparsha, Gaurav, Aruchi are experienced at the same time. The Ama developed in Amavata is too Picchil. 'Sinhanad Guggul' used in Amavata has Amapachan, Shothahar & Shoolahar properties. Triphala present in Sinhanad Guggul, due to its Deepan, Pachan, Sara Gunadharma facilitates Amapachan, Vatanuloman & is also effective in reducing the Picchilata of Ama. Deepan, Amashoshan & Shoolahar Karma is also facilitated due to Amruta Vishesh Shodhit Guggul.

From the treatment point of view of Amavata, Eranda Sneha is the most important content of this Kalpa. Eranda is an extremely effective constituent for Amapachan & Virechan. The excessive Picchilata of Ama in Amavata Vyadhi is eradicated by Eranda Sneha. Eranda due to its Deepan – Pachan Gunadharma, facilitates Ama Pachan & due to its Vatahar Karma helps in Vatanuloman which further reduces Sandhishool & Shotha. Hence it is rightly said,

DeeceJeeleiepeWõmÙe MejerjJeveÛeeefjCe:~SkeâcesJeefvenvlÙeeefmle Sjb[iepekesâmejer~~

'Sinhanad Guggul' is effective in Amavata and all kinds of Vatavyadhi especially Margavarodhajanya Vatavyadhi. Alongwith Vata Dosha, the presence of Ama or vitiated Kapha is always there in such a condition. Hence in treatment of such disorders, Sinhanad Guggul with its Deepan, Amapachak & Vatahar properties is extremely useful. It is also a Mrudu Vatanulomak alongwith possessing above said properties. Due to these properties, the Srotorodha is relieved & Vata Dosha gets back its Prakrut Gati, which further helps in Samprapti Bhanga.

With contents like Triphala, Shuddha Gandhak & Amruta Vishesh Shodhit Guggul, Sinhanad Guggul is very effective in Kushtha Vyadhi too. Vitiation of Twacha, Rakta, Mansa & Lasika is seen in Kushtha Samprapti as a result of Tridosha Dushti. Due to Kaphaghna Gunadharma of Bibhitak, Pittaghna Gunadharma of Amalaki & Vataghna Gunadharma of Haritaki, Triphala possesses Tridoshashamak property. Triphala being Kashay Rasapradhan also helps in nullifying Mansadushti. Guduchi alongwith being Tridoshashamak, is also an excellent Raktashodhak. Shuddha Gandhak has Raktashodhan, Kledanashan, Kandunashan & Krumihar properties & hence is useful in Kushtha. Eranda Sneha with Kledanirharan & Anuloman property is effective in Kushtha. Hence Sinhanad Guggul, due to its Amapachan, Kledashoshan, Kledanirharan, Shoolahar & Shothahar properties is beneficial in Sravi Twacha Vikar & Twacha Vikar with Shotha & Shool. Especially if used alongwith Mahamanjishthadi Kadha, its efficacy is increased.Many a times, Jayapal is used in Sinhanad Guggul for the purpose of Virechan, but the purpose of Amapachan is not fulfilled by it. The quantity of Eranda Sneha used in Sinhanad Guggul is not meant for Virechan, but is useful for Amapachan in Sookshma Srotas, which is to be understood properly.
